Get on a Roll for Tax R-E-L-I-E-F: Casino Dice Roll Promotion

Odds On Promotions Western Business Development Manager, Brent Kelly, shares a colorful way to drive increased casino play this April: a giant-prize dice roll promotion!

Dice Roll for Dollars

Let’s face it, this year, everyone could use a little tax relief. And that’s one of the reasons why I’m suggesting that companies consider marketing into Monday, April 15 – Income Tax Day – particularly since so many people now file their taxes electronically.

One the more entertaining ways to hand out a little relief is with a set of Odds On’s
custom 1″, 4″ or 8″ dice. In a dice roll promotion, you’ll give qualifiers the chance to spell a particular word – in this case – R-E-L-I-E-F, as in tax relief, or collect a winning combination of letters and numbers (e.g. 1-0-4-0-E-Z) in order to win $50,000, $100,000, $500,000 or more.

However, another creative way to customize your dice is to feature a different color on each die face – so that with every roll, your players spell RELIEF, reinforcing the theme of the promotion. Here’s just one way you might want to run a casino dice roll…

1. Draw a contestant every half hour from 3pm-Midnight on Saturdays and Sundays in April, giving players the chance to roll and win up to $1,040 or more in cash, slot play or points based on how many matching colored letters they roll.

2. In addition to your weekend rolls, on Monday, April 15, hold a special Tax RELIEF roll where you’ll draw 15 lucky players and give them each the chance to roll R-E-L-I-E-F in a matching color, and win $150,000, paid for by Odds On.

3. Make this one even more affordable – and more rewarding for your players, by teaming up with a local tax preparation service to assist with consolation prizes.

Fishing Promotion Insured by Montana Insurance Agency

Thinking about insuring a fishing promotion at your upcoming tournament?

When people think about the kinds of fishing promotions they can insure, most automatically look at running a state record contest or a matching weight promotion.

But Odds On has a variety of contests and promotions that can be customized to suit your fishing event including Dice Rolls, Lucky Envelopes contests and even a brand new game called “Casting for Cash.”

Casting for Cash is a customizable Video Scratch & Win promotion that will allow you to give every angler in your event the chance to win a variety of insured and self-sponsored prizes! If a lucky tournament participant happens to “reel” in 6 winning symbols on the game’s touchscreen, they will take home a grand prize, paid for by Odds On Promotions.

A Fishing Promotion for Everyone in Your Tournament

An insurance agency in Montana recently teamed up with a local tournament giving every angler in the event the chance to win a brand new fishing boat, valued at $35,000, for selecting 6 spots on the Video Scratch & Win game’s touchscreen. While there wasn’t a grand prize winner, the fishing tournament was a success and there were several close calls, so the tournament awarded a number of self-sponsored prizes for those anglers who found fewer than 6 winning symbols.

Prize Coverage Helps Michigan Harley Dealership Achieve Results

Promotions incorporating prize coverage, when used inconjuction with your regular advertising, can be a very effective tool for increasing foot traffic to your automotive or retail location. It’s often so effective that some companies use prize coverage on a regular basis to ensure that they are getting the most out of every advertising dollar spent.

Prize Coverage Works for Harley Dealer

This February, the dealership contacted Odds On to insure a weekend-long prize vault promotion. Each customer who visited the Harley dealership had a chance to enter a 5-digit number of their choice into the prize vault. If that 5-digit number happened to match Odds On’s preselected grand prize 5-digit number, the lucky customer would have won a brand new motorcycle, valued at $22,000… and Odds On would have written the check for the prize!

While no one managed to guess the winning combination of numbers, a large amount of traffic was directed to the dealership and much excitement was experienced by each and every customer who participated. Because of this, the Harley dealership came back to Odds On Promotions, for another promotion featuring giant prize coverage. For their second promotion during the month of March the dealership opted for a St. Patrick’s Day-themed “Pot O’ Gold” Video Scratch & Win promotion using Odds On’s new Lite kiosk!

On St. Patrick’s Day weekend, customers who enter the dealership will have the opportunity to select 6 spots on the Video Scratch & Win game’s touchscreen. If a customer happens to choose 6 spots, all of which contain a pot of gold symbol, they’ll be a brand new Harley owner! The bike itself is worth $18,500… and Odds On Promotions will gladly pay for the prize should the “Luck of the Irish” be with any customer who manages to find those 6 lucky pots of gold!

Looking for prize coverage that will help your company increase traffic and sales? Give Odds On a call today at 888-827-2249 and we’ll help you come up with a grand prize promotion which will achieve both goals! All of our quotes are free and no-obligation! Questions?

Golf Contests at the Toshiba Classic: Over $1,000,000 Insured!

We’re happy to announce that Odds On Promotions, as well as our sister company, Hole In One International, both teamed up to help insure a couple of fabulous golf contests at the Toshiba Classic this year! One on March 12, 2013, and the other will occur on March 17, 2013.

You may remember last year when we insured the Shot From the Top during the Toshiba Classic, which was insured for $10,000. This time, they upped the ante quite a bit… and insured two separate golf contests which were worth over $1,000,000 in cash and prizes, compliments of Odds On Promotions and Hole In One International.

Golf Contests: Ball Within a Circle & Million Dollar Shootout

The first golf contest was a Ball in the Circle promotion, which occurred on March 12, 2013. The contest consisted of five teams. Each team contained one tour professional, one celebrity, and one media member. Each of them teed off from the 10th hole at the renowned Newport Beach Country Club. If the golf ball came to a complete rest within the circle on the green, that player would have been awarded $50,000… compliments of Odds On Promotions! That’s five times the prize value of last year’s contest! And it gets even better…

A Million Dollar Shootout will also be held on March 17th, where two amateur golfers and one tour professional will have a chance to take a shot from the 185-yard hole #17 at Newport Beach Country Club for a chance to win $1,000,000, compliments of Hole In One International, should they end up acing the hole and making a hole in one! Needless to say, we can’t wait to see how that golf contest ends up playing out and we hope to be privileged enough to insure a golf contest at next year’s Toshiba Classic as well!

Golf contests can be insured anywhere, any place, any time and are not only a great way to increase excitement, but increase fundraising dollars as well. No matter what your specific goals happen to be, give Odds On Promotions a call at 888-827-2249 and we’ll help you come up with a golf contest that is best suited for your company/organization’s needs.

March Basketball Madness: An Online NCAA Bracket Promotion!

Looking for a way to capitalize on the March basketball madness, also know as the NCAA Men’s Championship Tournament, while increasing website traffic and gathering marketing information for your company’s database in the process? Want to award your customers, fans and/or players big for assisting in doing so? Then you’ll definitely want to know all about Odds On’s Online Championship Challenge basketball prediction promotion!

This “set it and forget it” online promotion makes running a rewarding basketball contest truly hassle-free! The contests includes a $1,000,000 grand prize that’s paid for by Odds On, a free second-chance Final 16 contest that keeps customers engaged until the end of the tournament, and a customizable interface featuring your logo and the ability to award self-insured prizes to both top-scoring and randomly selected contestants!

This particular March basketball promotion is on fire this season! In fact, we have quite a few clients who are embracing The Madness … among them, a casino property based out of the Midwest and a baseball team (yeah, that right, baseball) in the Southeast!

Both promotions, however, are unique in their own way…

The casino property will be having players pick up a unique promo code at the casino and then return the following day to access the online bracket and make their picks. Exclusive cash drawings will occur every hour as an incentive to keep players on-site. If any of the players end up guessing a select number of bracket winners, they’ll win $100,000 and Odds On will pick up the tab!

Meanwhile, the minor league baseball team will be insuring the promotion in order to stay engaged with their fans via their website, awarding the winner $50,000, paid for by Odds On. But that’s not all — if a lesser number of picks are accurately guessed, there will be smaller prizes of $5,000 (also paid for by Odds On) as well as a client-insured prize of $500!
